Breast Cancer

Attorney for Breast Cancer Malpractice Claims

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, but it is also highly detectable, and if caught early enough, an ounce of early prevention can be worth a hundred pounds of cure. That is why failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of breast cancer is such a serious form of medical malpractice.

Pursuing Compensation for Misdiagnosis

There are different types of breast cancer, but for the most common varieties — including infiltrating ductal carcinoma — the best weapon the patient has is early detection. Some of that is obviously the patent’s responsibility, but once a doctor has reason to believe that a patient may have breast cancer, he or she should pursue an accurate diagnosis.

Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of breast cancer can have serious consequences, including increased medical bills, increased pain and suffering, and a lower chance of survival.

If you believe your cancer should be have been detected earlier based on the information you gave to your doctor, I can help you determine whether you have a valid medical malpractice claim under Pennsylvania law.

Holding Doctors Accountable for Appropriate Treatment

Typical treatment options for metastatic breast cancer include lumpectomy and chemotherapy. Each case is different, and failure to treat a particular case of breast cancer properly can seriously injure the patient.
